We lost LeRoy three years ago, but our family has grown since the day we first laid eyes on the farm with our three children, Michele, Michael, and Scott. Tammy and Beryl joined the family as partners to our sons, and Mike and Tammy have three wonderful daughters who are scattered about, but still call this their home. Jessica, our eldest granddaughter, is at Rice University in Houston working on her dissertation - she’s trying to catch up to her mom! Jenna is working as a RN in Dallas with her fiancé after Bryce (civil engineering) took a job there. Jill is in her second year at Jefferson College on a volleyball scholarship, keeping busy with practices and classes. In this crazy world, we are so blessed to have such thoughtful, talented girls to make this family so special.
This has been a strange growing season, with a very wet spring and a very dry, hot summer. Mother Nature likes to give us farmers a challenge. The trees could definitely use a prolonged drink, even though most of them are under irrigation.
